The Fitbit Air's Bare-Bones Design Is Hiding a Much Bigger Strategy

Google launched Fitbit Air, a $99 screenless band with a removable sensor that tracks core health metrics and works on both iPhone and Android.

The device comes with three free months of Google Health Premium, aimed at introducing users to Google Health Coach.

Health Coach is an AI chatbot powered by Gemini that turns fitness, sleep, and recovery data into personalized guidance.

Google is also renaming the Fitbit app to Google Health, signaling a broader push to unify its wearables and services.
